Female thug 'Miss Mizzy' punches total strangers in viral 'chaos for clout' video clips 'to look cool' and get 'online validation', a friend has told MailOnline.
Footage of a violent prankster carrying out random assaults on a London Underground passenger and an employee in a supermarket went viral yesterday.
British Transport police have appealed for the woman who was punched in the face on the tube for seemingly no reason to come forward to aid their investigation.
Another video of the same thug shows her getting in an altercation with security staff at a Primark before she is dragged out of the shop.
The videos are reminiscent of those filmed by Mizzy, real name Bacari-Bronze O'Garro, who was locked up in a young offenders institute after flouting a social media ban imposed on him for 'pranks' such as breaking into strangers' homes.
Now, a friend who says they know her has told MailOnline that the girl has been 'shoplifting', 'stealing' and behaving like a 'little menace' to impress her peers for 'a while'.

In another, a prankster appears to smack a female commuter in the face on the London Underground (pictured is the victim, before the attack, left, and holding her nose after it, right)
Another video, which allegedly involves the woman, shows violence taking place outside the Westfield Stratford shopping centre in east London
They said: 'She does it for validation, online validation - to look cool. There is also another video of her trying to fight the Primark security.
'I'm not too sure [how long she has been doing this] but she has been a little menace for a while - going around stealing stuff, shoplifting and arguing with random civilians.
'She is doing it for clout,' they added.
Earlier this week, multiple videos shared on social media showed a woman appearing to attack strangers without provocation.
And now, MailOnline has obtained more footage of what appears to be 'Miss Mizzy' getting into an altercation with security staff in a Primark store.
In the video, the woman is seen being dragged away by men in hi-vis jackets marked security as shouting and screaming is heard.
An in the videos from earlier this week, a violent prankster is seen allegedly striking another woman in the face on a London Underground Bakerloo line train before goading her victim.
'Don't look at me like that again,' the aggressive woman says as she looms over her victim, who is innocently sitting down and looking at her phone.
Another woman filming the altercation appears to egg the 'prankster' on, saying 'slap, slap'.
'I swear to God, I will box you in your face,' the woman continues, before then appearing to punch her victim in the nose.
'You f***ing understand, you b****,' she yells, before then attacking her shocked victim again while she screams, as panicked commuters scramble away from the mayhem.
The British Transport Police issued an appeal for witnesses to the assault on the Tube to come forward.
A spokesperson said: 'British Transport Police officers are appealing for the victim or any witnesses to an assault on board a Bakerloo line train to contact them.
'A video has circulated online showing a person filming another individual punching commuters unprovoked on board a train.'
If you witnessed the incident or if it happened to you, please contact us and our officers will be able to help.
In a video shared on Snapchat, a woman is seen getting into an altercation with security guards at a Primark store
The prankster walks up to the security guards and is heard shouting before they drag her away
In another outrageous clip, the female yob - this time wearing a white Nike hoodie - is seen attacking a shop worker in a Co-op store, punching him in the face before scuttling away.
After the unprovoked assault, she then has the audacity to tell the furious shop worker: 'I swear to God, if you put hands on me, I'll call the feds (police).'
A fourth video, reportedly involving the same woman, appears to show violence taking place outside the Westfield Stratford shopping centre in east London.
Wearing a red cap, black jacket and black mini shorts, the thug is seen yanking her victim's hair before swinging a vicious right hook into the side of her head.
A man in the crowd watching the battering screams as the bully continues to press on with her attack.
Shouting at her victim as she walks away, the woman then throws two more hooks from behind.
A clip of the incident was shared on Snapchat, with the poster writing: 'behave 'n' stop picking on civs (civilians) it doesn't look good.'
The videos are a chilling return to the 'happy slapping' craze of the mid-2000s that escalated from school playground high jinks to thugs slapping defenceless members of the public.
The fad reportedly started after Tango fizzy drinks ran an advert featuring a bright orange half-naked man running around and slapping people drinking the orange-flavoured soda.
The 1992 ad was almost immediately banned by the Independent Television Commission but was still accused of sparking the nationwide craze that led to a series of black eyes and perforated eardrums in schools around the country.
And now the original Mizzy has responded, writing 'Miss Mizzy? There is only one I know,' in a post referencing his partner on X, formerly Twitter.
The videos are seemingly part of a sick 'chaos for clout' campaign on social media. Pictured is Mizzy, whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O'Garro, who rose to notoriety last year for such videos before being locked up in a young offenders' institute
Mizzy, pictured at Stratford Magistrates' Court, was told by Judge Matthew Bone that his pranks were 'not funny'
O'Garro has also previously shared a clip of himself cycling inside a Sainsbury's supermarket after he was given the criminal behaviour order
The footage appears to be the latest in a string of social media 'clout' pranks, with sees people attacking victims or causing mayhem in shops for views and likes.
Mizzy was among those blasted for such videos - he was locked up for 18 weeks in a young offenders institution after violating court orders which banned him from sharing videos of people on social media without their consent.
He was found to have 'deliberately and intentionally' flouted the order hours after it had been imposed leading to his internment in the institution due to the age at which he committed the offence.
During sentencing, judge Matthew Bone told him that his pranks had been motivated by a desire to be famous, but caused 'significant harm and distress' to others. The judge concluded: 'Put bluntly, your pranks are not funny.'
As he sentenced him, Judge Bone said O'Garro's actions had been motivated by a desire to 'receive money and designer clothes from sponsors'.
Earlier this year, Mizzy issued an apology for his 'wild and reckless' stunts upon his release from a young offenders' institute.
In comments reported by the Standard, he told London Live that he had learned a lot during his six weeks under confinement, including empathy for those he had harassed for social media clout.
He said: 'When I watched the [videos] back, I've been like 'oh that's not very nice is it?' I've learnt a lot, but mainly to be empathetic.
'If I had empathy from the start, then none of this would really have happened. I would have been like 'this is bad, what am I doing?''
Asked what he would say to those who were upset by his pranks, he added: 'I'd say sorry, first of all. Sorry - I didn't mean for it to get out of hand.'
Mizzy has a criminal behaviour order (CBO) banning him from sharing videos on social media. Major platforms have also banned him from posting.
He says he plans to use that time productively by attending college, applying for jobs and taking drama classes in order to build a respectable career.
